A yard where Glad could play roses in the spring. She rang the bell. Marian rented the apartment. It was on the second floor of the old house. A living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, one large and one tiny, shining new bath. It was fur nished comfortably, the entire house had a home-like atmos phere, the landlady was comfor tably atout. After buying sup plies, Marian went for the baby. She had a satisfied feeling that they had come home. She hurried through the week, adding little touches to the rooms, cooking, planning, thinking of Dan. He'd like a lamp beside that big chair. There must be ash trays and matches, Dan was al ways out of matches. Perhaps he would never live in the pleasant home, but he would be there, he'd come to see them. She and Glad were Dan'a family. Although he did not want to live with them, they were there to stay. Dan's little girl must grow up near her father, she must know her father. Saturday morning Marian called Dan's hotel. Dan had said that he was settled in a pleasant room in the Heathman hotel. She knew he would not be there at that hour, had planned to leave her telephone number.

"Have you plans for tomorrow, Dan?" "I expected to spend the day aione." "Then will you have dinner with me?" Would he say that he would come right then? He did not. He said, "I shall be delighted. What time?" He might have been any man accepting any woman s invitation. "One o'clock?" "I'll be there." . The next morning was a flutter of preparation. Removing every toy and tiny garment from the living room, Marian put the baby SIDE GLANCES FtVt at bn admiring that lone tomato for two week sow-when are we going to eat it?" to bed at 12.

She stood looking at him. Her lips smiled, her evet smiled, she held out both hands. "Dan " He took her hands. "It's eood to see you Marian aood." Hia voice was husky, repressed. He did not kiss her. They talked a few minutes. skimming the surface, then she served the dinner, the table set in an old-fashioned bay window. Dan's eyes kept straying to her vivid face, puzzled. "You've changed, Glad," he said. He'd called her Glad. Such a little thing, but so much. Her heart sang. 'I'm going to be honest with you, Dan," she said seriously. usten to me. When I've l lnisnea you shall say how lt will be with us. When you went away I learned how very much I loved you." Tears misted her eyes and he leaned across the table to lay his hands over hers.
